RECENT TRENDS IN MANAGEMENT THE UPPER LIMB OF ENTRAPMENT NEUROPATHIES IN THE UPPER LIMB

Abstract

Upper extremity nerve entrapment syndromes present many of the pain problems that are seen in the practice. In the upper extremity nerve trunks pass through anatomical tight spaces the term (nerve entrapment) refers to a pathological condition including an incompatibility between the volume of a peripheral nerve structure and the anatomical space available. The clinical evaluation of an entrapment syndrome and the determination of the site of compression are greatly aided by knowledge of the anatomic distribution of a nerve and its function.
